When Should I Buy a Saddle?

By Katherine Blocksdorf, About.com

Question: When Should I Buy a Saddle?
Answer: It’s tempting to want to have all your equipment ready and waiting for your horse. But you’ll want to fit the saddle to the horse. Improper saddle fit can cause a lot of problems. You’ll want to be able to try the saddle on your horse, and you’ll want to sit in the saddle to try it out for your fit and comfort before you buy it.
